But even then, if they've served their sentence then I think they should come out with a fresh slate, how can you expect someone to get their life back on track? We have life sentences for crimes that deserve them...and I don't want to get in a big justice system discussion here bc obviously the sentencing isn't perfect, but theoretically if you've served your sentence for a crime then I believe you should be treated as a regular citizen once you've been released. The system just breeds career criminals when it's that hard for them to get a job after they're released back to the general public.

Those are fair points. But I mean it’s kind of risky to hire someone who convinced of robbery. So maybe a job that’s not as much of a risk for robbery is good for them. It be like if someone convicted of drug charges went to work at a Pharmacy. Cause I’m not against them having jobs and it’s up to the people hiring rather to over look it. But you should have a right to know who you’re hiring and if they have been convicted of something that could be dangerous for your business.
